This is another of Uncle John's fantastic series that combines education, humor, trivia, wit and entertainment. The facts are pretty reliable and the stories hold my attention till my legs go numb.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awards galore
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2010

This is slightly different than the average Bathroom Reader in that all the stories concern various awards. I must admit that I did not enjoy it quite as much to some of the other books in the series in that there was less variety of stories but I still enjoyed it. Informative, and well worth reading, it will amaze you at how many things for which people are given awards.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love Uncle John!

I have every single one of these books--which is saying something because it was hard to find the original publications of some of the first ones! I love them all--it has been very difficult waiting every single year for the newest one to come out! One year I got the new one and then I received an additional two copies for Christmas. Re-Gift! The best thing of all is that my brain is full of the most amazing, completely useless information. Seriously--I know three people who died while on the commode.

I always find Uncle John's Bathroom readers fun. I have been collecting them for over a decade now. There are lots of rival Tricia books out there. I find Uncle John's format the most readable.

I have read a lot of Uncle John's books but each one teaches me something different. Good stuff to know. Knocks people out when I make some off the wall statement that I got from these books.

Little or no items from previous books.. This book didn't have as many humorous listings but that was OK. Have one beef: Amazon com often has a lot more reduced books than Amazon ca. Can't you guys cooperate and have the offerings available in both countries?
Do i recommend this book? You betcha!!!
